Chapter 19 Water Burial of Buddha

Qin Ziyu held the sword in his hand and ignored Chen Guan and the others, walking towards the fishman step by step.

His pace was not fast, but very powerful. Every step of his long and strong legs was as firm as steel, and his whole body seemed to be filled with explosive power.

The exposed skin was covered with strange purple and green colors. Half of his face was purple and the other half was green. The same was true for his hands. One hand was purple and the other hand was green. The whole person looked unusually mysterious.

Chen Guan was shocked when he saw this, because he recognized what happened to Qin Ziyu.

There are many famous secret techniques in Shenzhou. Although peerless secret spirits are rare, and peerless secret techniques that are revealed are even rarer, three thousand years is long enough, and many peerless secret techniques have appeared.

Among them, there is a peerless secret method that is now almost known to everyone, that is the Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art of Qin Beige, one of the Ten Heavenly Kings. In that chaotic era, Qin Beige made a great name for himself with the Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art. Since he came into the world, he has almost never been defeated, and created the powerful Qin family that has lasted for 800 years.

The Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art is a strange secret method that combines hardness and softness, yin and yang, water and fire. It is extremely domineering and almost indestructible when practiced to the extreme.

But until today, no one except Qin Beige knows from which mysterious spirit the Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art was obtained, and no one in the Qin family except Qin Beige possesses the Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art.

Although Qin Ziyu is a descendant of the Qin family, he is not a direct descendant, but a collateral descendant who grew up in a foreign place. How could he possess such an astonishing secret technique as the Purple and Green Two Qi Mysterious Art? If no one had seen it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

Previously, Chen Guan guessed that Qin Ziyu had a high-quality secret technique, but he never imagined that it would be the peerless quality of the Purple and Green Two Qi Profound Art.

"No wonder he upgrades faster than others. Under normal circumstances, the difficulty of practicing and upgrading peerless secret techniques is slower than those who practice other secret techniques. But there are some exceptions, such as the Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art. Once you practice it, your body will absorb the yin and yang essence of heaven and earth all the time. Even if you don't practice it deliberately, the secret technique itself will work automatically..." Chen Guan thought to himself.

Wang Lian and the others also seemed to recognize the Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art used by Qin Ziyu, and they all showed surprise on their faces.

"Zi Yu, let me cover you." Wang Lian stretched out both hands and shot flying knives at the fishman.

These throwing knives are not secret treasures, but they are made of secret spiritual materials. Their hardness and sharpness are incomparable to ordinary steel. The throwing knife technique is also the focus of Wang Lian's practice since he was a child.

After being thrown out, each flying knife arrived in front of the fishman almost instantly. Two flying knives flew towards the fishman's eyes, and the other two flying knives flew towards the fishman's throat and groin respectively. Wang Lian's flying knives were not only accurate, but also very steady.

The fishman's figure flashed so fast that it was unbelievable, and Wang Lian's flying knife missed.

At the moment when the fishman increased his speed and was about to rush over, Qin Ziyu moved the sword in his hand.

The sword light was like a shadow, carrying countless cold sword shadows stabbing at the fishman. Both his sword skills and body movements were unusual, and it was obvious that he was assisted by some secret technique.

But then there were clinking sounds. The fishman had actually managed to block Qin Ziyu's unpredictable sword attack with just one palm. Chen Guan and the others were all shocked. Although they didn't know the grade and quality of the sword in Qin Ziyu's hand, they thought that the secret treasure Qin Ziyu brought in would not be inferior.

The fishman was able to withstand the sharpness of the secret sword with just his scaly palms. His physical strength was truly terrifying.

Qin Ziyu is indeed a genius in the academy. Although the sword failed to hurt the fishman, he was not defeated by the fishman. His body followed the sword, his body movements and swordsmanship were unpredictable, combining hardness and softness. His offensive was like a rolling river, which made the fishman unable to be distracted.

Lu Teng and Gongsun Zhuo, who were originally about to rush forward with swords, stopped. It was not because they were timid and afraid of death and did not dare to move forward, but because the battle between Qin Ziyu and the fishman was too stalemate, and the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides was too fast, and they could not find the opportunity to move forward to besiege.

It is even more undesirable to rush forward forcibly. If the timing is not right, rushing forward may hinder Qin Ziyu's performance.

Fortunately, with the help of the Purple and Green Qi Mysterious Art, Qin Ziyu fought the fishman to a draw and managed to stabilize the situation.

"Qin Ziyu is indeed so strong." Lu Teng exclaimed.

Gongsun Zhuo, however, wasn't as optimistic as Lu Teng. He stared at the battlefield and said, "Zi Yu is very powerful, but he's only level seven after all. That fishman must be a level ten secret spirit, and of very high quality, possibly even a peerless secret spirit. Zi Yu can't hurt him, and his strength will inevitably decline over time, making the situation even worse. We must find a way to escape the Absolute Valley or hide before Zi Yu's strength declines, otherwise we'll still be dead."

"Even Qin Ziyu's purple and green Qi profound skills combined with the secret sword can't hurt him. What else can we do?" Lu Teng said with a bitter face.

Wang Lian held the flying knife in his hand, staring intently at the fishman with a thoughtful expression. He suddenly spoke, "Seeing the fishman's full appearance today, it suddenly occurred to me that I had read in an ancient book before about a mysterious spirit called the Water Burial Buddha. It seems to be quite similar to the image of this fishman's mysterious spirit."

"What Water Burial Buddha?" Several people looked at Wang Lian. If they really knew the origin of the fishman's secret spirit, they might be able to know his weakness.

"I just think there's a slight resemblance. Whether it's true or not is hard to say. After all, the ancient book wasn't complete, and it's been so long since I read it, my memory is a bit fuzzy. I just remember it seemed to say there's a kind of Buddhist spirit that, when their lives are about to end, chooses to enter a lake and wait for death. After death, they let the fish in the lake eat their bodies, allowing them to return to nature."

Wang Lian paused before continuing, "The fish in the water were originally just extremely weak secret spirits, but after constantly devouring the corpses of those Buddha-type secret spirits, they began to mutate over time. Not only did their level increase, but their quality also increased. Because they devoured so many Buddha-type secret spirits, the mutated water-type fish spirits mutated into dual-type secret spirits of water and Buddha, also known as Water Burial Buddhas. The level and quality of Water Burial Buddhas vary, and even their appearance varies. This depends on what kind of Buddha-type secret spirits they consumed."

"There's no mistake. This thing looks like the Water Buried Buddha. Does the ancient books record what kind of weaknesses the Water Buried Buddha has?" Lu Teng was overjoyed and asked quickly.

"The appearance and abilities of the Water Burial Buddhas are determined by the type of Buddhist mystical spirits they've devoured. There's no set definition, so it's hard to say if they have any common weaknesses." Wang Lian stared at the merman and continued, "This merman has a necklace around his neck that looks like Buddhist beads, and he's holding a bone bowl in his hand. If I'm not mistaken, that strange weapon should be the Demon-Subduing Pestle. These should all be secret treasures of Buddhist mystical spirits, and now they're all in his body. If he's truly the Water Burial Buddha, then the corpses of the Buddhist mystical spirits he's devoured must have been extraordinary, and in considerable numbers. Their degree of mutation must have been extremely high, making it even more difficult to find his weaknesses."

Lu Teng and the others felt a little disappointed. Knowing his background but not knowing his weaknesses was no different from not knowing his background at all.

Suddenly, Wang Lian cried out in surprise, "Oh, how could I have forgotten that? I remember there was a sentence at the end of that ancient book, saying that the Water Burial Buddha was born from eating Buddha, and would eventually die from eating Buddha."
